Thank You Teacher

This is a card that I made for my son to give his teacher, he went back to school after being home educated for 8 years to take his GCSE exams and she has been absolutely brilliant.

I got the idea for the chalkboard style from a card by Kitty Frampton in the Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine. I have used a sentiment from the DigiStamp Boutique, the original is black on white - I reversed it for the chalkboard look, thepapers are some from My Mind's Eye that have been in my stash for ages.

The stars are my favourite X-cut die and I used an EK Success notebook edge punch, the little pencil has also been in my stash for ages.

I also made a matching gift bag.

I would like to enter my card and gift bag into the following challenges:

This is a briliant card Pauline… such a fab design with the chalkboard. I love the scrummy papers and the ruler border and stars! the matching bag is perfect! :-)Hope you have a good day!Big hugsSue xx
